This summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.

Seagate Technology (STX-Q) has garnered mixed reviews from experts amid strong demand for memory storage and rising share prices. Some analysts criticize the stock's high price-to-earnings (PE) ratio, suggesting it is overpriced at 50x 2027's PE, while others note the company has significant pricing power due to ongoing storage shortages. Recent performance has been impressive, with shares surging by 11% and 19% on positive outlooks, pushing STX up 25% this year. However, there are concerns about its ability to maintain this momentum during the upcoming earnings report, as it has already shown a remarkable 63% growth. Overall, mixed sentiment prevails regarding whether the stock can maintain its rally or if its valuation provides a risk to investors.

DON'T BUY

Too pricey at 50x 2027's PE.

BUY

They can't make their disc drives--used in data centres--fast enough. Shares surged 11%. This is a horse.

BUY

They have absurd pricing power given the strong demand for memory storage. Shares jumped 19% today. It takes four years to build a new factory so the storage shortage should continue.

BUY

It reports Tuesday. No one saw the massive surge in memory stocks. STX is up 25% this year already, so it needs to deliver a massive beat and raise to keep the rally going. He thinks they can do it.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Sells at 20x PE, up 63% this year and one of the top S&P performers, but the PE and stock are too high.

DON'T BUY

The stock has never done and has always been cheap. It's a value trap.

BUY

A buy off of Dell's strong earnings report.

BUY

Seagate just reported a great quarter.

BUY

Just bought this for the first time. AI is driving a new refresh cycle in PCs. Also, we haven't upgraded PCs in 4-5 years. Dell just said their PC business was up 3% instead of the expected -2%. HPQ will see growth in the second half of this year, for the first time in 2 years. Also, AMD said last Sunday that their AI PC chips are 5x the speed of existing chips. Seagate leads this sector. Gross margins are poised to go higher. Margins could expand 1,000 basis points year over year. They have pricing power and volumes are rising. She might be early on it, but that's fine.

BUY

Memory chips are bottoming now and management just stood behind its 4.8% dividend yield.

BUY
It has bottomed. It pays a 5.4% dividend yield and trades at 11x in a business that has insatiable demand for hard-drive storage.
DON'T BUY
Missed earnings and was downgraded today. Much prefers Taiwan Semi and Samsung which are behemoths compared to Seagate.
